1878.] MR. A. BOUCARD ON BIRDS FROM COSTA RICA. 55 



123. Tanagra palmarum, Max. 

 Tanagra melanoptera, Hartl. 



Common at Naranjo, April ; San Jose, March to May. 



124. Ramphoceltjs passerinii, Bp. 



San Carlos, February ; Naranjo, April. Found commonly in the 

 "rastrojos" (abandoned plantations near the habitations). Always 

 seen in pairs ; but several pairs are often met with near one another 

 in the same locality. 



125. Phlogothraupis sangtjinolenta, Less. 



Orozi, May. I have seen them in pairs, like the above species ; 

 but sometimes five or six may be seen eating fruits or seeds on the 

 same tree. 



126. Pyranga rubra, L. 

 San Jose, April. 



127. Pyranga erythromel.ena, Licht. 

 Naranjo, April ; Candelaria, May. In the forest. 



128. Pyranga bidentata, Sw. 



Several specimens, from the forests of Navarro and Volcano of 

 Irazu, May. 



129. Phct:nicothratjpis ftjscicauda, Cab. 



Two specimens, male and female, from San Carlos, February. 

 Found in the forest, perching on branches near the ground. Feeds 

 on insects. 



130. Tachyphontjs ltjcttjostjs, Lafr. & D'Orb. 



San Carlos, February. Feeding on insects in the forest. 



131. Tachyphontjs delattrii, Lafr. 



San Mateo, May. I have always found these birds in company 

 with the above species, and many others, where large quantities 

 of migratory ants were travelling. They went in the same direction 

 as the ants ; and now and then I saw them hopping to the ground, 

 and perching on low branches. Doubtless they were feeding on 

 these ants. 



132. Chlorospingtjs albitemporalis, Lafr. 



Several specimens collected at La Laguna, Naranjo, and Navarro, 

 February, April, and May. This species seems to be widely dis- 

 tributed. I have seen them in the forest, chiefly at places where 

 openings had been made for sowing-purposes. 



133. Buarremon capitalis, Cab. 

 Pezopetes capitalis, Cab. 



Several specimens from the Volcano of Irazu, April and May. The 

 two sexes are exactly alike. They go in pairs; but several pairs
